@tangledup what are you wearing when you fish these small spots? I tend to wear camo tops when I am fishing small trout creeks. Sometimes they see you and they're gone or too spooked to take anything that you throw at them. Other times they forget about you after 10 or 15 mins of no disturbance on your part and you can catch those fish. Also as you mentioned you can blow out a hole quickly. If you have made a couple or three casts that should have passed the fish especially if the fly line went over them, it might be best to move on. I am not as avid a fly fisherman as others on this thread. So mine are just observations form my own outings. If you dig through the Crane creek forum, Crane Creek redemption in 2014, I used a small portable turkey blind to get close to the creek without spooking the fish. I was fishing spin tackle using 2# Pline at that time, but shows what lengths I have used in the past to fool spooky fish.

Now for some perspective . Yep that's a dime. She loves these little Japanese food kits. Everything is gelatin based and mixed with water. Molds and accents come in the kit.

In the five years that we had chickens in Columbia, we had two chickens walk off and not get back into the coop in the evening. They never came back. Wooley was the only one that was killed by a critter while in the chicken yard/coop area. After her demise I had put a security bar on their door that kept everything out once it was closed. The door that we got to the egg boxes had bolts that would hold it closed. The roof to the coop overhung the walls so it would take a desperate and acrobatic coon to get to the fencing at the top of the coop.

Anyone seen Quaratine Quitchen with Alton Brown and his wife on YouTube? He has a pretty sizeable collection of cast iron cookware.

My wife bought me a black silkie for our anniversary a few years back. She didn't want to get me any fishing gear. Since we had a decent flock of chickens already, having another was not going to be a problem. So I called her Wooly Bugger . Had her for a couple of years. Broodiest chicken that we have ever had. She got killed by a coon one night. The coons took a beating after that night for sure. Used to trap them and release several miles away. After Wooly was killed, they all got a short trip to the end of the driveway for the trash man to pick up. I love the fact that silkies have that extra toe on each foot.

Did buy Livie a donut making/decorating kit for her Bday. Here's a couple that she made this morning.

We have no issue using the canned biscuits in a pinch . Looks good buddy! Since all our hens are laying, we would have thrown a over easy egg on top or those biscuits. Why I am gaining weight during this pandemic .

Probably many of the same folks that can't tell a spotted bass from a largemouth bass .

Livie's Bday today. Corona effected everything. She wanted a grilled corned beef dish my wife makes but no corned beef. Instead bought a skirt steak and made fajitas instead. That's a 25 yr old lodge fajita skillet.

Stop it!!! I can't stand looking at good food😌! Too much is never enough on this thread. Post away buddy! We haven't had much to post lately.

Could use some. darn hand sterilizer and alcohol is drying out my hands.

Don't you mean Billy?!? My favorite Carter.😂😂

Awesome PB largemouth buddy! Congrats and happy B-day! Nothing better than making memories with your family!

Could not tell from this photo. I have never seen one in the wild. Definitely had got this had I seen these two photos or if it curled over and "died". Pretty cool snake for sure.

Tonight was a nontraditional easter dinner. A nice shepards pie.😀. Last couple of nights we were supporting the local curbside restaurant offerings.

All our sourdough attempts were more like flatbread. Didn't get much of a rise at all. They were tough and chewy. Not my favorite at all.

Congrats on the Crane creek beauties! Big or small nice fish.

Looks like a great time buddy!

I love throwing flukes for bass😀! Congrats @Sore Thumbs on a great day!

That looks like it should work for the snakeheads around me ! Just about the size of mummichog that folks use to catch them.

That guy is flat out creepy and I am not a woman !

Its a great recipe. Delicious. I'd be interested in that dumpling recipe.

The gardening that takes place here in MD. When you rent not many options besides potted vegetables. So replanted one of my pre-bonsai plants.

We watched that movie Monday night. We enjoyed it.
